Fallout 2 Unlocked Weapon Sound Variations

Unlocks some of the originally unused variations of weapon sound effects.

Original game's release contained variations for different sounds effects, including weapon effects (shoot, reload, hit, etc.). However, for some reason, in the original executable, always the first variation of every sound effect was used, even when more are available.

This mod fixes that by overriding sound effects used for weapons via script, using specially introduced sfall hook.

Not all sound variations were meant to be used. In some cases, different variations sound too different to each other, or don't fit the weapon type in question. Because of this, I've manually reviewed every single sound and written a special ini file that specifies which variations can be used. This is done per weapon type, not weapon PID. This way, it should be compatible with different mods that add new weapons that reuse original sound effects.

The mod requires sfall 4. 4. 5 or higher.

Should be compatible with RPU, UPU, EtTu, as well as vanilla game.

Installation:

• []Extract contents into game root folder.

  []Verify that you have "scripts" folder inside "<GameRoot>\mods\weapon_sfx_variation\".

  []Open your "<GameRoot>\mods\mods_order.txt" and add "weapon_sfx_variation" (without quotes) to the end of the file.

    • []Sorry for the AI thumbnail, but Nexus demands some picture and I don't know how I can screenshot a sound mod... No AI was used to create any other part of the mod or the readme.

      []This was originally a part of EcCo, now a standalone mod.

      []The main goal of this upload is to test Nexus as a platform for FO2 mods and to possibly promote EcCo.
